The Hollies

The scent of a proper Bristol breakfast drifts through the morning air, and you're closer to the harbour and Clifton's Georgian terraces than you'd think possible from somewhere this tucked away.

The Hollies works for couples wanting a comfortable base without the full hotel experience, or small families who fancy a camping pod in the garden when the kids want that outdoor feeling but you're after a proper bed nearby. It's one of those flexible setups — guest house rooms if the weather turns, pods if you want fresh air and canvas overhead. Dogs might be welcome depending on the room, so worth asking when you book.

You've got year-round access, which makes it handy for city breaks in the cooler months or festival season without the full campsite commitment. Campfires are a check-on-arrival situation — likely depends on which pitch you're on and how dry it's been. Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so expect guest house basics rather than full campsite infrastructure. It's more urban stopover than wild camping, but sometimes that's exactly what a Bristol trip needs.
